The Bills play their best, when it's required. How many times do we have to see it to understand that.
Absolutely, until the playoffs. Then all bets are off.

Let's take a second to appreciate James Cook.
Done.

The amount of post-election self-reflection by the Republicans after tonight will probably be about equal to the amount of post-election self-reflection by the Democrats after 2024.

I know Republicans who just couldn’t vote for Herschel. Just couldn’t vote for Mark Robinson.
Democrats couldn’t wait to pull the lever for a man who wants 45% of his constituents dead or to be witnessed dying in their mothers arms.I live in Northern Virginia which is full of angry progressives, some of whom have been furloughed as a result of the government shutdown. They're an angry bunch, but how far off the rails do you have to go to vote for this guy? I guess it's open season on Republicans in Virginia now. I wonder if Jones will even bother to prosecute the assailants.

I'm pretty old so I didn't enjoy the video, but I did learn that there are a lot of parking spots in Tampa.

To be a little bit fair, last night his “carries” to the EZ consisted of mass of humanity pushing. Not saying that JA isn’t amazing but last nights running td’s were hardly the stuff of highlight reels.
Yes, his elevated total TD numbers are a bit misleading because so many of them are run-ins from the one-yard line. It would be much more impressive if he was throwing 50 touchdowns per year which, as talented as he is, he might be able to do if he had the receivers and a proper offensive scheme and an offensive coordinator who knew how to best utilize his talents.

Brady schemed and called a good game today.
He mixed the pass and run well, mostly called the right plays at the right time, and I liked the no-huddle after big chunk plays. That seemed to catch KC off guard.The Chiefs were confused by the absence of tight end sweeps on third down.

When the Bills get Josh a wide receiver who can actually get open downfield, they are going to be in good shape
He's got Kincaid who is a very good to great tight end. He's got Shakir who is a good to very good wide receiver. The rest of the guys are just JAGs. Fortunately, he's also got James Cook who is one of the best running backs in the league. But for just one season, it would be great to see what Allen could do with a top-notch receiving corps.

Allen usually plays his best against good teams in big games. And he sometimes lets up against bad or mediocre opponents as if he feels that he has nothing to prove. This was a big game.

Mahomes is like a vampire. If you don't put a stake in his heart, he's always going to come back.

I think, for me, it's mostly the fans who punch down at the Bills/Bills fans. Like, as a Chiefs fan, you're getting to experience a dynasty — something that very very very few sports fans ever get to experience. The Bills have caused you absolutely zero pain. Like, just don't s*** on us and be happier people.
Agree with this comment completely. I voted "other" because KC has one of the worst fan bases in the NFL. They're obnoxious as hell and completely lacking in self-awareness. However, that's probably true for the fan base of any team that successfully creates a dynasty.
-
Allen is a people pleasing sort of a guy. It's not in his nature to play hardball.
I would like to see Allen take more control of the game on the field. If Brady is calling wacky or ineffective plays such as tight end sweeps on third and one, Allen should audible out into a saner sort of play.

The only time the Bills offense looks good is when they're behind and trying to catch up and Josh Allen is allowed to do his thing.
Also, give credit where credit is due. The Patriots are an improving team, and Drake Maye looks like a franchise QB.

If one was judging by this patriots game, Brady would be considered one of the worst OCs in the league. Seriously, what’s going on tonight?
Josh Allen makes all of his OC's look much better than they actually are. Maybe Brady really is that bad.

He’s become quite the ham! 😂
At one point, he sounded a bit like William Shatner. "It can't even play in the snow." I wonder if that was intentional.

It was a transcendent moment for him when he started clapping and the entire locker room started clapping along in rhythm with him.
After all these years as coach, he's finally coached up all the Assistant Coaches and the front office staff to clap along with him. One of the truly great moments of his career. And it took a win against the New Orleans Saints to do it.

When he was playing, I always thought of him as the team's dad. He seemed mature and sensible and always kept his head about him. When Hamlin died on the field, I remember Morse hugging and comforting one of the other players who was sobbing on his chest.

So it's god's fault. What a dick.
Everyone knows that God always backs the winner. When was the last time you saw a player on the losing team thank Him?

The entire goal of the season is the 1 seed. If they don't achieve that it's a huge hit. They are in good position now but it's way too early.
If they can play aggressive D the rest of the season like they did yesterday they can get it. The only way they will fail is if Buffalo gets complacent, reads the press clippings of how great they are...and don't take lesser teams seriously. Injuries and turnovers also play a huge role in getting upset.
The Bills have enough veteran players who have experienced a lot of disappointment so that they shouldn't get complacent. They shouldn't be complacent; the team gets knocked out of the playoffs every year. Hopefully, they're both angry and hungry. Hangry.

The Winstopper defense.

Just for grins, on a week when the Bills are playing a bad team, let him call his own plays, and see what happens. Hopefully, we wouldn't see three runs directly into the line of scrimmage on the Bills' second series of the game.

Agree on everything except the 2-point conversions. Sean took points off the board on the first one in order to try for 2. He has done this before and it drives me crazy. Leave the points on the board!
Yes, and if you fail to convert the first conversion, you're always playing catchup on future extra points which is what the Bills did all night. They're lucky it didn't cost them the game. Other than that, McDermott did a fine job of game management.

It would be simpler if the refs would just use separate eleven-yard chains when Buffalo has the ball.

Allen is among the most exciting players in NFL history.

Republican Self Reflection Thread
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
And, interestingly, both Biden and Trump made the same mistake. They pretended they had a mandate when in fact it was a rejection of the previous president's policies. Trump is not prone to self-reflection and won't change, but if the Congressional Republicans don't want to get massacred in the midterms next November, they need to assert themselves and push back against Trump's less popular policies, such as his seemingly endless random and arbitrary tariffs.
